Etrian Odyssey uses a turn-based battle system, with a gameplay balance
similar to the Shin Megami Tensei series; careless errors will bring
about a swift demise. The player can acquire and collect skills, but
strategy is emphasized over the player’s skills or levels.
Most games for the Nintendo DS use the Touch Screen for gameplay, and
the Top Screen for secondary elements, such as map or statistical
displays. Etrian Odyssey uses both.
The Top Screen uses a robust 3D engine to display the environment from
a first-person perspective, while the Touch Screen is used by the
player to draw and create maps of each environment in a “Conquest
Journal.”
Among the areas to be explored are the Emerald Forest, teeming with
flower gardens and treasure chests; the Primitive Jungle, where trails
are surrounded by poisonous thorns; and the Ancient Grove, where
adventurers float across waterways on magical lilies.
- Make your own maps with the Touch Screen! Plot your progress
through the labyrinth, drawing walls and placing icons to note special
events, treasure chests, doors, pits, stairs, and landmarks.
- Nine character classes! Create a woodland survivalist,
shield-bearing templar, whip-wielding dark hunter, or any of a
half-dozen other types. Populate an adventurer’s guild with up to 20
characters!
- Turn-based strategic combat! Acquire and collect more than 20
battle skills for your adventuring party of five characters.
